Digital Abacus was a "proto-Nourishment" of sorts. Mr. Polland and Mr. Tepperman, admirers of each others' works, collaborated by sending a tape back and forth through the mail. They recorded an entire album together before meeting in person.
This release comprises the first "Digital Abacus" EP, as well as the previously-unreleased second Digital Abacus project, which was mysteriously abandoned when The Nourishment was formed.
